    Like the line "How do I abandon?............I never did it before". Apart from his collarbone last March, he's been surprisingly injury free for a pro cyclist.

    Must have lost his concentration. No idea why.

    Why was the team filming it? Not many teams are so keen to capture their own rider's misery. [cynical]It all looks very contrived.[/cynical]

    Did he actually cut himself or did they pump so much in the blood started leaking back out (expanded at altitude maybe)? Hope they remembered to bag it ready to use again - recycling is the way forward :wink:

    Very little doubt that this was all contrived. I was expecting him to pull out with a stomach bug or bronchitis but even many LA fans would have a hard time believing that, the crash was much more entertaining and gives him a perfect opportunity to see to urgent issues elsewhere.

    He will have some serious explaining to do now.

    I completely misheard Bruyneel right at the start - he points and I swear he says "Lance is dead, Lance is dead..." :shock:

    Its hard to believe that is a contrived fall to get the heat off him.

    But is it odd...

    Yeah, and I bet he wouldn't have been able to jump so high if he'd been clean. Runs in the family :lol:

    If I remember correctly from his autobiography, didn't he abandon from his first pro race? :?

    He quit his first race back after cancer - 1998 Paris-Nice maybe?

    Still, it was a long time ago, can't expect the old guy to remember these minor details...

    Can we expect to hear "I have no recollection of that" a lot in the near future?

    Yes some day must be tough on that days every thing goes wrong and nothing will work according to yours. Really a mess up, frustrate you. But forget it and go on, it happens.
